The measure of a man is
what he does with power.
Plato
Human greatness does not lie in wealth
or power but in character and goodness.
Anne Frank
The human being cannot live in a condition
of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing
toward something, he does not merely stagnate;
the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity
and despair, and eventually into
destructive activities.
Rollo May
No man is more unhappy than he who never
faces adversity. For he is not permitted
to prove himself.

The greatness of a man is not in how much
wealth he acquires, but in his integrity
and his ability to affect those
around him positively.
Bob Marley
A life without self-reflection and exploration
is not one worth living.
Socrates
One doesn't discover new lands without
consenting to lose sight, for a very
long time, of the shore.
André Gide
Only a man who knows what it is like to be
defeated can reach down to the bottom of
his soul and come up with the extra
ounce of power it takes to win
when the match is even.

as virtuous rather than cowardly.
George Carlin
Making the simple complicated is commonplace;
making the complicated simple, awesomely
simple, that's creativity.

You are in danger of living a life so comfortable
and soft, that you will die without ever
realizing your true potential.
David Goggins
Excellence in anything increases
your potential in everything.
Joe Rogan
The key to happiness doesn't lay in numbers in a
bank account but in the way we make others feel
and the way they make us feel.
Joe Rogan
The true worth of a man is to be
measured by the objects he pursues.
Marcus Aurelius
The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moment of comfort
and convenience, but where he stands
at times of challenge and controversy.

My strength needs no victims.
My strength is my compassion.

Pursue what's in your heart, and
the universe will conspire to support you.

We can judge the heart of a man
by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Man is an animal with primary instincts
of survival. Consequently his ingenuity
has developed first and his soul afterwards.
The progress of science is far ahead
of man's ethical behavior.
Charlie Chaplin
We should be measured by how we treat
the most vulnerable and powerless
in our society.

Compassion for animals is intimately associated
with goodness of character, and it may be
confidently asserted that he who is cruel
to animals cannot be a good man.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Man's highest duty is to protect
animals from cruelty.
Émile Zola
The opposite of courage is not cowardice,
it is conformity. Even a dead fish
can go with the flow.
Jim Hightower
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that
in the process he does not become a monster.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss,
the abyss will gaze back into you.

When evil men plot, good men must plan.
When evil men burn and bomb,
good men must build and bind.
When evil men shout ugly words of hatred,
good men must commit themselves
to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
No people have risen who thought only of rights.
Only those did so who thought of duties.
Mahatma Gandhi
Intelligence is measured by a person's
ability to see validity within both sides
of contradicting arguments.

distinction between good and evil.

Chaos was the law of nature;
order was the dream of man.
Henry Adams
If you are not liberal when you are young,
you have no heart,
and if you are not conservative when old,
you have no brain.
Winston Churchill
There comes a time when one must choose
between contemplation and action.
This is called becoming a man.
Albert Camus
Competition is the law of the jungle,
but cooperation is the law of civilization.
